Alert! This area is where we outline recent product enhancements and resolved issues to help you stay up to date with the changes happening in Fusion Enterprise: Clinic Controller. There may be times when the Version numbers are skipped. Any changes or additions in skipped versions are included in the publicly released one.

If you are hosted by Fusion Enterprise, your system will be updated with the hot patch Wednesday October 25th.

ICD-10 Update

Best Billing Practice: Always review cases after an ICD10 change to catch issues early.

Please review these steps, even if you are hosted by Fusion Enterprise.

Step 1 - Download and apply the hot patch

If you are hosted by Fusion Enterprise you can skip this step and go directly to Step 2.

NOTE: Please see the How Do I Apply the Patch? at the bottom, if you do not already know how to do this.

Step 2 - Review the Unbillable ICD10 report

This report is found in the Problem Report category. It is run by Referred Date and will show you a list of cases that have one or more unbillable ICD10s, according to the latest list. Deactivate the ICD10s that are no longer billable.

Step 3 - Edit diagnoses on Charges and/or Flow Sheets

Charges remember the diagnoses they're linked to, so if you're manually entering charges through Charges and Documentation (i.e., not using the Flow Sheet), you'll need to deselect those ICDs for one visit only for that patient. From that point, the unbillable ICD can't be selected, since it's no longer active in the Case.

If you're using the Flow Sheet, you can right-click to 'Edit Exercise Diags' and deselect the unbillable codes. The word 'INACTIVE' will appear next to each ICD that has been deactivated in the Case, for easy identification. You'll only need to do that for one visit only for that patient.

Where do I Find the Patch?

If you are not hosted by Fusion Enterprise:

Download The 2024 ICD Codes Hot Patch.

NOTE: This can be done on any computer; it does not have to be from the server.

Find the file in your Downloads folder (or wherever the default location your web browser/email client is set to save files to.)

NOTE: You may want to move the file to your Desktop to make it easy to find when you go to apply it.

How Do I Apply the Patch?

If you are not hosted by Fusion Enterprise:

In Fusion Enterprise, go to Administration > Server Control > System Info tab.
Right-click and choose Update Clinic Controller > Apply Hot Patch.
Navigate to the file you saved in the prior set of steps, above.

NOTE: You only need to do this from one machine; the change will automatically impact all machines. You will need to log out/in to see the change.
